I have recently hit the 50 era, and am happily on the shorter and thinner side of the scales. However, I have noticed that unsightly tummy bulge thing has begun to happen along with the hot flashes.

Leggings and tunics, dresses, menswear shirts, etc, are just the ticket for hiding all the fun my body is having with me. The plus side to them is they are very chic and they have nice tummy tuckers. Keep up the amazing work on your site. I am also back in the retail workforce and am constantly answering questions regarding what is appropriate attire for the cresting the hill chic. Hi Tammy, thank you very much for dropping by and for the lovely compliment.

I find tunics are great as well as especially on those days when my tummy is bugging me or I just want to be comfy. Think I wrote you on this subject!? The problem is not the arse, but the crotch.
